　　　The second year Global Course students participated in a workshop organized by the University of Osaka, titled "What Is Good Research?" on June 8 (Sa). In the workshop Mr. Shindo, the lecturer and facilitator of the workshop, who is a professor at the University of Osaka, showed us what a good research presentation requires to have; which are (1)to have a clear theme of the research, (2)to have thoughts composed by logically constructed analysis, and (3)to be based on targeted research. Then, all the research project teams checked whether or not their research projects met the three requirements mentioned above.
　　　Mr. Kakizawa, the other lecturer and facilitator of the workshop, who is a specially appointed associate professor at the University of Osaka, also pointed out that while advancing their research projects, they need to be always aware of the key perspectives: analysis and synthesis, which will undoubtedly make their arguments more persuasive. All the second year Global Course students are going to take part in a special workshop on academic writing, which will be held at the University of Osaka this August, by which they have to flesh out the details of their research planning.
